Terry Hofecker on Archaeology Project in Israel
Posted by Terry White on June 20, 2009
Dr. Terry Hofecker (left), pastor of Northwest Chapel Grace Brethren Church in Dublin, Ohio, is currently in Israel, participating in an archaeology project at Tel Gezer. Here he relaxes with his good friend and fellow archaeologist, Dr. Gary Arbino, who teaches at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in California.
This Saturday morning Terry reports, “Just returned from East Jerusalem (the Arab part). I was making a Joshua Cloth. This is a large cloth to block out the sun for taking photos in the bright sunlight. Stop at the tailor and he could not sew the heavy canvas together. Then the shoemaker–he couldn’t either. Finally went to my friend Shabaan–’Ah, you need the bagmaker!’ He had to sew almost 30 feet of heavy cloth–quite expensive–60 shekels-$15US”
